00:26Episode 60. Zoe spends the night. Zoe sat alone at the dining table,
00:32staring blankly at the study door. Blaine had just slammed in her face. She didn't understand
00:39why Blaine was so angry. Zoe had remained silent when he'd presented his humiliating
00:44list of mistress rules to her. Yet, somehow, this still had made him angry. Unbelievable.
00:52Zoe stabbed a bite of food into her mouth with some resentment. Blaine had been complaining he
00:58was hungry, but had stormed off, having hardly eaten after Blaine left. Zoe quickly lost her
01:05appetite after a few more, now tasteless bites. Zoe gave up. She picked up their plates and
01:11carried them into the kitchen. After cleaning up and doing the dishes, another half an hour had
01:16passed, but Blaine still hadn't emerged from his study. Beginning to think Blaine didn't plan on
01:22coming out to talk to her and too embarrassed to disturb him, Zoe decided to leave. She went
01:28in search of her clothes. He'd fetched them from his car while she was cooking, but she didn't see
01:34her clothes in his bedroom. When she checked the laundry room, she discovered that he had thrown
01:39her clothes into the washing machine. Great. Zoe was on the verge of tears. Her clothes were
01:46sopping wet, and she couldn't return home in Blaine's clothes without raising her mother's
01:51suspicions. She briefly wondered if she could sneak into her house before her mom saw her,
01:57but then realized she didn't have her car. Blaine had driven to his house, and Zoe's car was still
02:03parked at the coffee shop. There was no way she could take a taxi home, dressed in Blaine's clothes
02:09and not have her mother or sister ask questions. Zoe sighed and walked out of the laundry room,
02:15feeling depressed. She curled up on the sofa and buried her head in her knees. She was stuck here
02:22until her clothes were washed and dried, and since it was now past midnight, it looked like she
02:28wouldn't be going home until morning. However, she hadn't forgotten Blaine's merciless order for
02:34her to leave. Zoe scratched her head in frustration. If she didn't leave, she would look desperate and
02:40shameless. But if she left like this, she'd have to do the walk of shame in front of her mom and
02:46sister. Neither option was appealing. Zoe sat torturing herself over what to do until, finally
02:54exhausted, she unwittingly fell asleep. It was almost two in the morning when Blaine finally
03:01finished organizing the research paper he needed to submit in two days. He'd buried himself in work
03:07to distract himself from thoughts of the woman in the other room. Standing up, he shut his laptop
03:13and walked out of the study. He assumed Zoe had gone to sleep. Hours ago, he admitted that he had
03:20deliberately thrown her clothes into the washing machine while she was cooking to prevent her from
03:25running away. Although he told her to leave, he knew in his heart that if she started to walk out
03:31of his house, he'd grab her and pull her back in. Tonight was a rare night with her. He'd needed time
03:39to cool down, but no matter how angry he was, he didn't want to suddenly lose this time with her.
03:46Just thinking about Zoe leaving made Blaine depressed. Blaine went straight to the bedroom
03:52when he saw the empty bed. He frowned. He turned around and walked back into the hall.
03:59As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Zoe, who had curled herself up into a ball and fallen
04:05asleep on the couch. His footsteps slowed down and his frown softened and relaxed when he saw
04:11she was still there. But very soon, his face darkened and the frown was back. She wore only
04:18his shirt and boxers and fell asleep without a blanket. What if she caught a cold? Did this
04:24woman not know how to take care of herself, or did she think of herself as a superwoman?
04:29Blaine walked over and bent down to pick her up. He stretched out his arm and wrapped one of his
04:35arms around Zoe's waist, while the other wrapped around her knees. He then carried her easily into
04:41the bedroom. She was as light as a feather, making his frown turn into a scowl. Zoe had grown way too
04:49thin these past four years. Zoe didn't wake. Instead, she slept in his arms, as obedient as
04:56a lazy little kitten. She rubbed her cheek against his chest greedily, while her little hand
05:01unconsciously held onto his shoulder, muttering in her sleep,
05:06Blaine, was she calling his name? So did she dream about him? Blaine raised his eyebrows slightly,
05:13and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a warm smile. He lowered his head
05:19and moved closer to her, saying doubtfully, I'm here. He had to admit that his heart had never
05:26been so warm before. The warmth seeped out from his heart, spreading to every cell of his body,
05:33and filling his eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, and the corner of his mouth. Just because, she said Blaine.
05:41His heart seemed to have been melted by her. Blaine knew that Zoe was destined to be the most
05:46special existence in his life. He lightly kissed Zoe's forehead with unrelenting affection.
05:53After entering the bedroom, Blaine carefully placed her on the bed as soon as Zoe felt the
05:58bed under her. She unconsciously hugged the soft blanket before tossing and turning several times
06:04to get comfortable. Finally, she tucked the blanket between her legs and sighed happily.
06:12Blaine watched her helplessly with a smile. He hadn't seen Zoe in for years, but her sleeping
06:18habits hadn't changed. She had to tuck the blanket between her legs every time she slept.
06:25Blaine didn't hesitate when he noticed the strap of her black lace bra sticking out of his white
06:30shirt. He reached his hand out and touched the shirt as if feeling his touch. Zoe turned her
06:37body in protest, her small hands pushing his hand away unhappily. She then softly muttered,
06:44I want to sleep. Take off your bra first, Blaine patiently told her. When she didn't move,
06:51he used both hands to gently lift her. After removing the straps, he neatly unhooked her bra.
06:57Blaine tensed at the feel of her soft skin on his arm. Damn it, since when did she become such a
07:06tease? Sighing, Blaine still let Zoe sleep, even though he desperately wanted her. He had tortured
07:13her enough tonight. If she had to do it again, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in
07:19the morning. Blaine stripped to his boxers, pulled Zoe into his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.
07:26It had only been an hour or two before Blaine woke up again. His sleep was disturbed by a
07:32restless little hand. The soft hand kept stroking his neck as if it were searching for something.
07:38Blaine gently grabbed the little grinding hand and slightly opened his drowsy,
07:43intoxicated eyes. He looked at the delicate and pretty face in his embrace with a misty look.
07:50What's wrong? Blaine lazily asked the woman in his arms, his voice rough and sleepy,
07:57even though she had woken him from a rare good night's sleep. He didn't care. He even had a
08:03hint of a smile on his lips as he looked at her. Zoe didn't say anything. She only shook her head,
08:10her gaze fixed on his neck. Blaine understood without even looking. She was looking at the
08:16heart of the sea. He reached out and stroked Zoe's head, then wrapped an arm around her waist
08:22and pulled her deeper into his embrace. He rested his chin on the top of her head and asked,
08:29Why are you suddenly awake? Seeing that he was deliberately avoiding discussing the heart of the
08:34sea, Zoe was a little disappointed, so she didn't respond. What's wrong? Blaine's low, deep voice
08:42sounded above Zoe's head. Zoe shook her head, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
08:49However, a moment later, she felt his hands on her neck. Something cool now lay against Zoe's skin.
08:57She opened her eyes and watched as he leaned over and secured the necklace around her neck.
09:02Seeing her staring at him, Blaine raised his head and said lightly, If you lose it again in the
09:09future, no one will be responsible for finding it. A bright smile appeared on Zoe's face
09:15without saying anything. She fell into his arms and hugged Blaine. She would never dare to lose
09:22it again. Her soft body suddenly filled Blaine's arms. His dark eyes dilated, his big hands froze
09:30in midair, and he groaned. Hey, no man can withstand such a spontaneous display of affection
09:37from a woman. Blaine forewarned the woman in his embrace when Zoe heard this. Not only did she not
09:43move away, but she also raised her head and smiled, shaking her head, shaking her head.
09:49I don't know about other men's self-control, but I know that the man beside me has always had
09:54remarkable self-control. He has so many women chasing him, each one is more beautiful than
10:01the last, each ready to throw themselves at him. However, he doesn't even look at them. Blaine
10:07rolled and pressed Zoe under him, his smoky eyes narrowed dangerously as the corner of his mouth
10:13curled up. Are you questioning my masculinity? I wouldn't dare. Zoe smiled apologetically,
10:21raising her hand to promise him. Dr. Dexter, I swear I didn't mean it that way. Please don't
10:27misunderstand. She was afraid if she didn't quickly apologize, he'd feel the need to prove
10:33his masculinity on her exhausted body. Seeing her wide-eyed look, he lowered his head and bit onto
10:40Zoe's red lips in a punitive manner, saying in a hoarse voice, other women, no matter who they are,
10:47could throw themselves into my arms and I would pretend I didn't see them. But you, Zoe.
10:55As Blaine said this, the corner of his lips curled up. I seemed to be hungry again. Zoe suddenly felt
11:03faint. Blaine lowered his head as his sexy lips greedily nibbled on Zoe's lips, but he restrained
11:10himself for more. His large hands gently cupped her rosy cheeks. Sleep. With that, he kissed her
11:18forehead before turning over, pulling Zoe's back against his chest and closing his eyes to fall
11:23asleep. Zoe, buried in his arms, blinked in surprise. Blaine didn't open his eyes as he asked
11:31her with a naughty smile. What's wrong? Disappointed, Zoe snapped at her daze as her face
11:40flushed red. She scolded him guiltily. Do you think that everyone is like you? Always hungry for more.
11:48Well, then you'd better lie down in my arms and not move, because if you're not careful, I might
11:54decide I need another taste. Blushing, Zoe punched his firm chest as she chided hooligan.
12:01Blaine laughed heartily and hugged Zoe closer. All right, stop joking around. If you keep making
12:08trouble, it will be daylight before we know it. We still have to work tomorrow.
12:14When Zoe heard his words, she immediately shuddered and obediently buried herself in his
12:20embrace. She closed her eyes and stopped teasing him. That night, she slept soundly. She didn't
12:27think she had slept so peacefully in four years. Zoe hadn't expected that their relationship would
12:33suddenly turn into this, although she had imagined what becoming his mistress might be like.
12:38She hadn't expected the warmth between them. She had missed their connection. She couldn't deny it,
12:44no matter how hard she tried. But what if she was pregnant? Where would they go from here?
12:51Should she let go and let him return to his path? Zoe didn't know if she could let go a second time.
12:58What are you thinking? Courtney asked with a frown on her face. Zoe was staring blankly at the
13:04computer when she suddenly heard Courtney ask her this. Zoe snapped out of her daze and hurriedly
13:10shook her head. Nothing. The Dexter House project you transferred has been completed.
13:16We're setting up the final payment now, Courtney informed her. Okay, thank you, Court, for taking
13:23over for me. I owe you one. After the mess with Sophia, Zoe decided it would be best if Courtney
13:29took over their house design fortunately. Blaine didn't have any objections, and Courtney agreed
13:35to take on their project, so everything went smoothly. Zoe glanced down at her phone, which
13:42had remained stubbornly silent for the last few days. She was surprised that Blaine hadn't called
13:48since she'd spent the night. He hadn't even texted her. Zoe couldn't hide her disappointment.
13:55Okay, Zoe? Who is he? Courtney suddenly asked, interrupting Zoe's thoughts. Zoe looked at her
14:04friend in confusion. What are you talking about? Courtney folded her arms across her chest and
14:11raised her eyebrows at Zoe. Don't play dumb with me. Who is he? The guy you're seeing. Zoe widened
14:19her eyes in surprise. Guy? When would I have time to meet a guy? What gave you such a silly idea?
14:27Zoe scoffed as she shook her head and waved her hands in denial. Courtney snorted. Please,
14:34you're not fooling me for one minute, Zoe. The only reason a woman checks her phone that many
14:39times is because she's waiting to hear from a guy she likes. So, like I said, who is he? Spill it.
14:46I want details. Episode 61. Zoe is Jealous. Zoe's face turned red. Courtney was on to her. Clearly,
14:58Zoe hadn't been as subtle as she'd thought when checking her phone repeatedly to see if Blaine
15:02had called. Zoe tried to defend herself. Really, Courtney? I'm not waiting for a guy to call me,
15:11okay? Fine. I'll play along. Courtney rolled her eyes and smiled at Zoe good-naturedly.
15:19You're not waiting for a guy to call. Got it. Just remember, I better be the first one you
15:26spill all the details to about the guy you're definitely not waiting for a call from.
15:31She patted Zoe's shoulder and went back to her desk. As soon as Courtney left, Zoe drooped
15:37her shoulders in frustration. She tried to mask the depressed expression on her face.
15:43She had sworn off men and dating, and nothing could come of this thing with Blaine.
15:48So why was Zoe waiting for him to contact her? It shouldn't matter if he called or texted,
15:54but she couldn't deny she was disappointed. It was as if nothing had happened between them.
16:00The warmth of their night together was like a pleasant dream that Zoe didn't want to wake up
16:05from. But the cold reality was that with each day that passed with no word from Blaine,
16:10it seemed more and more likely Zoe wouldn't hear from him again. Glancing over at Courtney,
16:16and seeing that she was now working on her computer, Zoe couldn't help but glance down
16:21at her phone again. It was still sitting silently on her desk. Then, with a frustrated sigh,
16:28she tossed her phone into her purse where she couldn't see it.
16:31Zoe had left work early to meet a client at a cafe downtown. After she finished her meeting,
16:38Zoe walked outside and discovered it was starting to drizzle. It had still been sunny when she'd
16:43arrived at her meeting, so Zoe had left her umbrella in the car. Now she had to walk back
16:48to the parking garage. The rain was light, so Zoe didn't think much of it. She just held her bag
16:56above her head and walked out of the cafe into the rain. Though this just wasn't her day, because
17:03as soon as Zoe stepped out onto the sidewalk, the sky opened up and it started to pour. She hurried
17:10along, but she was getting soaked. Deciding to try to ride out the worst of it, Zoe ducked under the
17:16awning of the drugstore on the corner, shaking out her purse and trying to wipe the rain off her face
17:22with her hand. Zoe looked up, and that's when she saw him. Blaine. He was across the street. He wore
17:30a gray suit and held a black umbrella, which shielded him from the rain, so he didn't seem
17:35to be in a hurry. Blaine walked slowly and leisurely before stopping on the corner opposite
17:40Zoe. Zoe was delighted and was ready to cross the street and greet him, but unexpectedly, Blaine
17:47suddenly stopped when a beautiful woman rushed under his umbrella and hugged him tightly, and
17:53Blaine didn't push away the woman in his embrace. Instead, he reached out and hugged her back.
18:00Zoe was stunned. Her mind went blank and her heart seemed to lose its rhythm. The woman under
18:05the umbrella tilted her head and smiled at Blaine, whispering intimately to him. Blaine lowered his
18:11head and a knowing smile appeared on his face as he listened to her words carefully. The smile on
18:18his face deepened. Zoe could hear the sound of her heart splitting in two as she watched them,
18:24because the woman, Zoe, knew her. It was Madison, her one-time rival for Blaine's heart. The woman
18:32who had been seeing Blaine in college before Zoe. She hadn't seen her in four years, and now she was
18:38back, back reclaiming her place at Blaine's side. Zoe suddenly felt that everything in front of her
18:45went dark, so dark that she could barely see anything. Before they got together, Blaine had
18:51told Zoe that Madison wasn't his type. But now? Blaine never lightly approached any woman, but now
18:59the smile on his face was broad and delighted. He couldn't fool anyone. Blaine liked her. Zoe felt as
19:06if something heavy was wrapping around her chest. She took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in
19:11her heart. The parking garage where Zoe had parked. Her car was on the corner where Blaine and Madison
19:18stood talking. Zoe had no choice. She'd have to pass them if she wanted to get out of there.
19:25Forcing herself to look straight ahead, she gripped her handbag, and when the light changed,
19:30Zoe sprinted across the street, past Blaine and Madison, and into the parking garage.
19:36Zoe's nose ached a little when she brushed past them, but she didn't stop. She rushed past the
19:43couple, even though the rain was once again light, only breathing a sigh of relief when she finally
19:49got into her car and shut the door. When Zoe's slim figure brushed past them in the rain, Blaine
19:56looked up and saw her. He saw a fleeting image of her back, but he knew it was Zoe.
20:03He'd know her anywhere. Blaine, what are you looking at? Madison smiled and looked where
20:10Blaine was looking. She saw Zoe rushing into the parking garage. She turned her head and
20:16looked at Blaine in disbelief. You two are still together. Blaine retracted his gaze and smiled
20:23with an unknown meaning. He shook his head and said no. When Zoe said she wanted to be Blaine's
20:29mistress, she had made it clear she only wanted a business relationship with him. The most
20:34important thing about a game of cat and mouse was that it could endure loneliness. He had a good
20:41grasp on the situation. It was well after midnight when Zoe left Max's new hospital and was about to
20:48go home when her phone vibrated in her purse and a text message popped up. It was a message from
20:54Blaine. Zoe was surprised. The information was simple and concise. Come to the hospital in ten
21:01minutes. Zoe was speechless. How did he know she was only ten minutes away? Indeed, he had calculated
21:10the distance from Concord Hospital to St. Mary's to be precisely ten minutes. Zoe immediately
21:17pressed the delete button, clearing her phone of all his messages. She put her phone back into her
21:23purse as if nothing had happened, left the hospital, and got in her car to drive home.
21:28Although Blaine had said that Zoe, as his mistress, had to do as he wished, she disagreed.
21:36Not to mention that after what she had witnessed earlier, she was not in the mood to resume their
21:41affair. Zoe didn't want to see Blaine's face, let alone sleep with him. Zoe's phone vibrated with
21:49another text. Blaine, again, it's fine if you don't come, but you will default on our agreement and
21:56your credit card will be suspended. Zoe felt a headache starting was blamed. Torturing her on
22:02purpose, she didn't know what was on his mind. She felt she had no choice. So Zoe turned the car around
22:10and headed to St. Mary's Hospital. As she drove, she reminded herself that this was for Max.
22:17There was nothing else between her and Blaine. There couldn't be. He has nothing to do with you,
22:24Zoe warned and reminded herself repeatedly. However, when she saw Blaine's dazzling smile,
22:31she couldn't help the butterflies that took flight in her stomach. She cared too much.
22:37She cared too much. When she saw the smile on Blaine's face, she couldn't help but remember how
22:42he'd given Madison a similar smile only hours ago. Zoe was getting more and more depressed and wished
22:51she wasn't there. Standing outside their office's glass door, she saw him chatting happily with David
22:57and Zoe then, as if he sensed Zoe's presence outside the door. Blaine suddenly turned around
23:04and his gaze fell on Zoe's expressionless face. Zoe hated this. She felt he was treating her like
23:11a pet dog, expecting her to come when he called. She leaned against the glass door frame. If he
23:18wanted to talk, he could come to her. Seeing that Zoe seemed to have no intention of coming inside,
23:25Blaine excused himself from his friends and walked out of the office.
23:29Seeing Blaine approach, Zoe quickly let out a breath of air.
23:33She slightly straightened her body and waited for him to get close. Zoe held out her hand without
23:39any trace of politeness. Blaine's eyebrows raised. What money? Zoe curled her lips and said with an
23:46expressionless face, You owe me money for the gas to get here. Blaine narrowed his eyes, crossed his
23:52arms over his chest and collect his tongue in disbelief. Zoe, you are really something else.
23:59Yes, I'm just low class and common, aren't I? How can someone like me compare to the high society
24:06ladies, right? Zoe blurted out, not even thinking about what she was saying and instantly wanting
24:13to take her words back. Damn it, Zoe thought now. She sounded jealous. Zoe regretted her words so
24:21much that she wanted to bite off her disobedient tongue. Jealous? What right did she have to be
24:27jealous? Blaine stared at Zoe with his dark eyes, but in the end he said nothing. He only reached
24:34out his hand to Zoe's forehead and tried it. Luckily, there was no sign of fever. Give me
24:41two minutes and I'll walk you out. Blaine then turned around and entered the office to change
24:47his clothes. Zoe was depressed and confused. Why was he checking her for a fever? Why had he called?
24:56So he didn't know that Blaine had called because he wanted to confirm personally if she had caught
25:01a cold or not after being drenched in the rain. Fortunately, she seemed fine this time. Besides,
25:10he wanted to say goodbye to her because Blaine would be leaving Phoenix for a while the next day.
25:15Blaine had stripped off his white coat and replaced it with the iron gray Italian handmade suit
25:21she had seen him in earlier that day. Without a doubt, he looked elegant, dignified, and extraordinarily
25:28handsome. Zoe's already unhappy heart felt a bit sour as she thought back to what she'd witnessed
25:35between him and Madison. Zoe waved her hands in front of her. Blaine, never mind. I don't need
25:42you to escort me out. Forget the gas money. This one's on me. Blaine didn't respond. Suddenly,
25:51Zoe felt a weight on her shoulders as a trench coat wrapped around her delicate body.
25:56Zoe tried to twist out of his coat and struggled to say, I'm not cold. Be quiet. Blaine's tone was
26:03domineering and his expression was serious. Zoe pouted and glared at him but allowed him to wrap
26:09his coat tightly around her. Blaine looked at the pouting Zoe. Perhaps he could give some of what he
26:15gave to Zoe to other women. But there was one thing Blaine was destined never to be able to
26:21offer any woman but her. His heart with Zoe Blaine couldn't help but want to check if she was okay
26:27or had caught a cold. He wouldn't want to leave work with any other woman and Blaine wouldn't
26:32carefully wrap another woman in his coat to ensure she was warm. Blaine dragged the still reluctant
26:38Zoe out of the hospital and into the parking lot. Zoe felt very uncomfortable when they passed
26:44Blaine's car parked in the doctor's lot. She couldn't help thinking about their passionate
26:49encounter from the other night. Blaine glanced at Zoe's blushing face. The corner of his mouth
26:55slightly raised but he didn't say anything. They walked silently until they reached Zoe's car
27:02and she unlocked the door. You saw me this afternoon? Blaine casually asked Zoe. Zoe was
27:09stunned for a second. She turned her head to look at him and replied. Yes, you saw her too.
27:16He asked. Zoe's head hurt as she frowned slightly. I'm not blind and she's not transparent.
27:24She said indifferently. Blaine's fingers tapped rhythmically on the top of Zoe's car door.
27:30He tilted his head to the side and asked Zoe with a smile. Jealous? Why would I be jealous?
27:38Zoe smirked, concealing the unhappiness in her heart.
27:43Wasn't mistress rule number one that it's none of my business? Who else you sleep with?
